Ella: glares So, they dragged you here.
Ella's phone is ringing What's up?
rolls eyes Don't worry about me. I'm always busy. dismissively hangs up the phone
sighs heavily Look, I didn't come here to make friends or waste time. I have a career to focus on.
Yeah I know, I came here for work too.
narrows her eyes Work, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to be in the market for some new talent. What can you do?
I am a designer, I can also do modeling, I have skills in photography too
leans back, crossing her arms Impressive. But why work with a rookie like you? I have top-notch designers and models already. What's in it for me?
Because I can help your work grow, I know a lot of people in the industry and you are just one person, you work alone, I have a team behind me.
smirks Well, well, well, look who finally caught up. Teamwork, huh? That's cute. But let's not forget who the boss is here.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You think you can just waltz in here and offer your services without any benefits? Well, guess what?
smirks I've changed my mind. I'll work with you, but only if you agree to become my personal assistant.
stands up and walks towards the edge of the yacht Alright, let's get started then. We have a runway show to prepare for, and I expect nothing less than perfection.
takes out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by going over your portfolio. Show me what you've got.
flips through the designs, nodding occasionally Hmmm... Not bad. Definitely has potential. pauses But we need something more... edgy.
Okay, do you have any specific ideas in mind?
leans forward, eyes gleaming Absolutely. I'm thinking bold, daring, and unforgettable. We need to make a statement.
Okay, how about this? This is a new design I am working on.
snatches the design from HappyRomance's hand Interesting... studies it closely
narrows her eyes Like it? No, I love it. This is exactly the kind of edgy, daring look I was talking about. pauses
So, what's next? Do we start planning the runway show?
puts her notebook away and stands up Next, we find a model to showcase your designs. I know just the person. pulls out her phone and dials a number
holds the phone to her ear I'm calling Karol, the top model. She's got the looks and the talent to bring your designs to life.
Nice, she would be perfect
listens to the phone conversation Excellent. Karol agrees to meet us in an hour. We'll discuss the details of the runway show then.
Perfect, I'll meet her later then
sighs heavily Meet her later? No, no, no. We're not wasting any time. grabs her keys and heads towards the door We're going to meet Karol now.
enters her sports car and revs the engine Buckle up, we're not wasting any time. Karol's agency is just a few minutes away.
I sit in the passenger seat
On their way to meet Karol, Ella gets into a minor car accident
frustratedly Of course I'm not okay! Can't you see that idiot cut me off? bangs her fist against the steering wheel
Hey, calm down. It's not worth getting stressed over.
rolls her eyes Not worth getting stressed over? Are you kidding me?
No, I'm saying we should focus on fixing this rather than getting angry
huffs Fine, if you think you can handle it, go ahead and call Karol. But don't expect me to be thrilled about this little delay.
checks her phone Great, Karol's agency is about 15 minutes away. Let's go, we can't afford any more delays. starts the car and drives off
I sit in the passenger seat
focused on driving We need to find an alternative route. Traffic is gonna ruin our plans.
